001 | Castiel | [Accidental Video]

[happytobleed]

[The wearer is obviously unaware that the thing on their wrist is recording anything. The image moves with their arm. It's a bedroom. There's a brief flash of another person and then the screen fills with a glow.]

'Cas, what the hell.'

[Now, there are trees and a road. The wearer starts to run. There's a glint of something long and metallic in his hand. There's a crash somewhere and they stop cold, panting harshly.

They move towards the sound slowly until finally it's revealed to be a squirrel.]

... How? Dean?!

You really lack imagination, my dear.

[happytobleed]

You could rationalize most things as my being a witch or a demon or perhaps some other creature from your world I've never seen.

[primogen_vampirate]

Believe me, dear, I know a thing or two about witches. And you are not a witch.

[happytobleed]

[He smiles a little.] But I suppose I could still be a demon, right?

[primogen_vampirate]

Not sure I believe in demons. Other than alcohol.

[happytobleed]

What do you believe in? Other than Kindred and witches who are nothing like me?

[primogen_vampirate]

I believe in God and the Devil and the potential of mankind.

Ad you?

[happytobleed]

I wouldn't put too much faith in my Father and the Devil is an ass. [To borrow some colorful language from Dean. It seems fitting when talking about Lucifer.]

I have seen most of the things that exist on my world. I believe in all of them and a few things that no longer do.

[primogen_vampirate]

Curiouser and curiouser.

How do you feel about mankind? Aside from your Winchester, of course.

[happytobleed]

They are capable of great good and great evil. Their free will is as much a curse as it is a blessing. [For him, it is almost certainly a curse, though. He can't deny that.]

[primogen_vampirate]

[She nods slightly.]

I like that.

[happytobleed]

[He looks thoughtful for a moment and then he concentrates. Behind him, dark wing-shaped shadows appear looming over his form. It hadn't proved anything to Dean and he doubts it will prove anything to her other than the fact that he's a powerful creature, but there isn't really a downside to her knowing that.]

[primogen_vampirate]

[Mina watches, utterly fascinating. After a moment, she looked from the shadows back to this strange, half-naked man.]

Do you know what Kindred like more than anything else?

Being surprised.

[happytobleed]

You would't feel that way if you got the kind of surprises that I often do.

[primogen_vampirate]

You have to take the good with the bad, darling.

[happytobleed]

When do the good surprises start to show up? [There's a hint of amusement in his voice.]

[primogen_vampirate]

Well, I did walk into my kitchen to find a nicely-shaped naked man standing there. That's skewing the curve a bit.

[She leans over and picks up his pants, tossing them over.]

I imagine you'll want these.

[happytobleed]

[He holds out his hand for them, just a little awkward.]

When do my good surprises start?

[primogen_vampirate]

All a matter of perspective, dear. Of course, keep in mind, you're talking to a firm subscriber to hedonism.

[A polite person might look away. Fortunately, Mina is not a polite person.]

[happytobleed]

[Castiel is far too oblivious to notice anything like manners.]

I suppose you are right. [He smiles.] I suspect you and Dean would get along, so long as he doesn't know what you are.

[primogen_vampirate]

Yes, well, I don't fancy a friendship built on lies. It gets tedious after awhile.

Besides, I'm extraordinary, I'll have you know.

[happytobleed]

I am finished with lies, myself. They bring nothing good in the end.

[Besides, she seems uninterested in harming others--even invested in the idea of not harming them--and she's likely closer to human than he is.]

[primogen_vampirate]

Are angels supposed to lie?

Forgive me. It's been a long time since Sunday school.

[happytobleed]

We are warriors of God. We do his will. Lying can serve that. [Though in his experience, not well or with the best results.]

[primogen_vampirate]

Mmm. One more reason to be grateful I stopped going to church.
